Anthony Wood

Anthony Wood possessed an incredibly rigorous, deeply elite background in advanced electrical engineering, complex digital video architecture, and massive-scale hardware manufacturing. Having successfully graduated from Texas A&M University and operating as a fiercely respected serial entrepreneur who practically invented the digital video recorder, this intensely technical foundation provided the exact engineering mastery required to successfully pioneer the incredibly massive Roku platform.

Anthony Wood is an absolutely brilliant American software engineer, fiercely visionary digital media pioneer, and the profoundly influential CEO and founding patriarch fundamentally responsible for architecting the massively dominant Roku streaming empire. Operating as the highly successful billionaire inventor of the DVR (having founded ReplayTV), Wood aggressively recognized the massive, impending paradigm shift from traditional broadcast television to internet-based streaming. In 2002, he relentlessly launched Roku. After briefly serving as Vice President of Internet TV at Netflix, he fiercely spun Roku back out into a massively independent hardware company. By relentlessly engineering highly affordable, incredibly intuitive streaming sticks and a massive proprietary operating system, his absolutely rigorous strategic leadership completely revolutionized global media consumption. His massive corporate execution permanently established Roku as an absolute multi-billion dollar monopoly.
